Do you have a problem or question? Have you tried to figure out how to do something only to give up in frustration? Are you ready to throw your computer out the window? Don't do it!! Let me tell you about a great resource available to anyone. E-zine publishers!!

When the editors ask for comments, feedback, or questions, they really mean it. It helps them to find out what their subscribers need. Information that can be passed on in their newsletter for everyone's benefit. They also like to know that folks are reading their articles and learning from them.

Every time I have written an editor with a problem or asked a question they have always responded with an answer or given me advice on where to find the answer.

I might never have attempted to build a web site without the instructions of Newbie Club and Web Site Marketing Machine, and the encouragement of these editors. On occasion I know I've made a pest of myself, but I never got that impression from any of the publishers themselves.

My web site is finished - thanks to the advice and help from many of you. George, Seqkat, Bo, Jane, Sharon, Tony, Joe, Margot, Marion, Bina and many others. You know who you are. I thank you.

These are real people with their own families, problems, schedules and jobs, who also have time to do research, and publish a newsletter, as well as develop their own online business. And they take time out of their busy schedules to help 'newbies' like me get past a frustrating problem in the mechanics of web site building. Heck! They even work on their vacations!

Get to know the editors of your favorite newsletters. They are kind and very helpful. Some tell it 'like it is' and some are downright funny! But all are willing to teach you what they know.

I've tried many get rich quick schemes to make money. 'Buy this, buy that' - didn't get far because I didn't know how to do 'this or that' to make money. For example, I got a merchant account before I was making any money and I'm still paying out without getting any back.
